http://cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/479662/12 i'll lay it down for markd, he's to busy riding his new motorcycle anyway

well thanks for that, now how about the one on summerdaze which was retro'd

IDK, I JUST ALWAYS THOUGHT I HEARD JIM CALL IT THAT..

gee, with a name like smooth dancer i'd think that it had already been freed.

i thought the drop zone was called the farside?

good point, if there wasn't an anchor he would have topped out and it would have never happened. No doubt. Who originally put the SE rap anchors in? Maybe we should make a list of anchors that are candidates for removal. I would have no problem with it at all if folks decided a bunch of them should go away. how about the anchor on dod's jam by the tree below the crux, and the anchor in the middle of summerdaze.

i need a miracle

good point, if there wasn't an anchor he would have topped out and it would have never happened.

it would of been so much better if she had postscripted it "plaidman's ex OUT"...

Since Bill won't I will! I thank Joseph each time I clip into those Metolius rap anchors. And I thank him each time he helps me out on my software. Paul Cou sar Ditto. i think that the bolt replacement is "whatever" who doesn't love shiny new bolts, if it wasn't him it would be somebody else. JH always say's it's for purely selfish reasons. i truly believe that JH would like to leave a bit of a legacy behind somewhere and i think JH has chosen beacon as that place. which i don't understand, JH is a total icon on the east coast and in the southern IL climbing scene. the guy has quite the resume.

i agree, replacing bolts is a good thing. but joseph seems to have a "ruling class" mentality... like he knows what's best for everyone and is smarter on almost every level. it all sounds very exhausting to me.

government motors?

looks like the hulk

ALOHA mr. hands!

HAHA cuz its fucking funny!!! YOUR a troll stevetimetravlr! YOU'RE a towel!

lose some weight and there will be less of you here

isn't this where bill chimes in and points out how great of a guy joseph is an how we should all thank him for all his hard work....

Other than actually doing something, I'm no more 'empowered' than you or anyone else. And nothing is happening out there randomly, bad anchors have simply been replaced. The latter doesn't happen without the former. The route wasn't modified. As stated before that would be 'retrobolting'. The route has been modified several times over the last five years by rockfall and people tearing holds off, but that's it. Hey, pull out your keyboard and start misrepresenting the facts, shit-talking my way, or taking conversations negative and you're likely to get what you get. No entitlement involved. You want to take a shot at getting the closure lifted or modified? Have at it. Clean out one of the column routes? Very cool! I have a tool set just for that you're welcome to use. An anchor, pin, or bolt needs replacing? I have plenty of hangars, bolts, pins, rings, and slings available for you to use and a drill and hammer if you need one. Trash needs to be picked up? Pick it up and haul it out. Big, bad loose rock juju somewhere? Sort out a strategy for dealing with it safely with the BRSP. Need any help doing any of the above? Pm me here, I'm up for it. Bitch and whine like a little cyber girl and do nothing? You're on your own.

Kenny, 'rebolting' lacks the 'tro' that would redefine it as 'retrobolting'. The difference between the two could only be considered subtle under some pretty special circumstances. perhaps, but only in a special understanding of it all. you did "re(tro)bolt" YW, though, against the wishes of the first ascentionist, too, i might add... (Jim said you never asked if he minded that you did that, but you said that you had talked with him about it and he told you it was ok). several of the bolts have moved (ive seen where you patched the old holes - you'd have to be blind to not see them) and i'm not sure what effect this has on the route but i'm sure that when/if jim climbs it this year he will have plenty to say on how it is all f**ked up now.

very cool Kfag

now that is funny

yes bill, we're all aware that u fancy asian women

Kenny, I see you seem intent on keeping on a roll here. Hey, the loose rock load just above Grassy Ledges up to the short chimney had built up to a ridiculous level and sending grapefruit size rocks down to the SE Corner's base. Could have been cleaned out or stacked earlier during the pre-open work session, but of course (surprise) it somehow just didn't happen. But what the hell, you just keep at it here, it's so damn productive and helpful. i think we need to all thank joseph for all his hard work, if it wasn't for him u all would DIE!!!!!!! rockfall has never occured at beacon in the past, count urself lucky that joeseph showed up when he did cause you would all be dead...
